Our Clients – Companies in Transitions
There are occasions when businesses are confronted with circumstances that management is ill qualified to resolve on their own. Businesses suddenly faced with a major customer’s shift to offshore suppliers or the introduction of a new technology are two examples of events that can change the businesses outlook dramatically with little or no warning.
Our work in many different industry sectors and with many different companies enables us to identify both operational and strategic options to effectively respond to changes in the business environment. Some executives acknowledge that change is inevitable and seek our assistance to build an organization capable of anticipating change and its implications before their business is overcome and the only options are acts of desperation.
A special but common case of businesses in transition occurs when a business ceases to grow. Businesses mature and grow by overcoming a number of important but predictable organizational obstacles. Often overcoming these obstacle challenges founders to redefine their role and their mechanisms for control. This is particularly true as founders and/or owners advance in their career and begin to consider retirement raising the issue of succession.
We understand and appreciate the difficulty that succession and organizational maturation creates for the business founders and owners. These circumstances require a special attention to the personal needs and aspirations of the individuals in control. Our consultants’ experience as senior executives and business owners allows us to help our clients devise and execute organizational plans that fit their unique needs while protecting the value of their business.
